    Another HYDRO2 Review!

    it's different and less robust, so, a weaker overall product. i am taking that info from CarPro, not personal experience. def not meant to be used as a drying aid, though, that's for sure. no special care process required. waterless and rinseless are fine. you'll notice it's very easy to wash...

    looking for alternative to my favorite APC

    i looked at the Mothers Pro APC before and saw potash in the msds so i steered clear.

    looking for alternative to my favorite APC

    thanks. i agree that it's awesome and flexible but i end up using it everywhere, not just for detailing, and i mow through it. i use it in the house, in the garage - everywhere. if i could find something close to it and then cut my OPC use back to situations where i really need that specific...

    looking for alternative to my favorite APC

    thanks. is it good w/ truly greasy/sticky stuff too? and tires? haha yeah i know TA has been recommended for a while but it appears to be the same active ingredient as the other orange stuff i tried so i'm good there. nice to see two votes for the megs though. thanks.

    looking for alternative to my favorite APC

    i have been using OPC (Power Clean) for years, but, it's pretty expensive. but awesome. i tried an orange degreaser from another detailing brand and it was useless. for those who have tried OPC - is there an alternative out there that is more affordable? I am looking for something that I can...

    most economical iron remover?

    come on guys, what kind of replies are these? i haven't posted in a while and this is what i come back to. sheesh. i guess a gallon is considered bulk. i just bought a gallon made by a well known paint decon company for ~$45. Ferrex is $90 something. Iron-X is probably in that range too for a...

    most economical iron remover?

    i am going to try the Nanoskin iron remover spray as it's quite a deal but what else is out there that is a great deal for gallon sizes and effective on paint (vs. solely wheels)? there is a massive price difference between a lot of the products on the market and i am not entirely sure how that...

    ideal shop lighting setup?

    i finally finished my setup. 44 bulbs. it's ridiculous. i am thoroughly pleased with all of it. i did all of the fixtures then enough bulbs to outfit 14 of them. i waited a week then ordered the rest of the bulbs. i installed the rest tonight. can't recommend the combo enough. so glad that...

    DIY LED Work Light (much better than halogen!)

    i posted a month ago about the Hyperikon. i have use a bunch of their stuff now at this point and i can recommend the 5000k PAR38 for the light stand setup. if you have an outdoor light or want more spread out light for general lighting, i really like their BR40 bulbs. i think the PAR38 have a...

    DIY LED Work Light (much better than halogen!)

    i have had the Sylvania par38 daylight 5000k bulbs in my version of Zach's light, which has two rows of bulbs...but wanted to mention that i have bought Hyperikon par38s from Amazon and they are really nice...and cheap as heck...and much lighter weight-wise than the Sylvanias, which could be...

    ideal shop lighting setup?

    just to update, i have a bunch of the basic 4ft twin tube fixtures coming from Bees Lighting. i will make a decision on the bulbs between the James/Diva Lite 4k or 5k as i have one of each coming. traditionally, i use 32W 5k fluorescent tubes for general shop lighting, so, 5k is what i like for...

    ideal shop lighting setup?

    ha, i've had that thread favorited for a while. that board is cool. have you tried the bulbs he's currently recommending? i called the one supplier "Bees Lighting" this week to ask them some questions about fixtures and the James bulbs and was put on hold too long. i hung up and got busy with...

    My New DD 2016 Audi S4!!!

    ahh, that makes sense then. thanks for the pic. AL (MM/Bosch JV) is buying capsules from Toshiba. off topic but Toshiba used to make these cool bulbs called HIRs in 9011 and 9012 fitments. with slight modifications, they were very nice when your only options were various iterations of...

    utility sink help

    thanks. it's been invaluable for renovations. i've painted more rooms at 3 AM than i care to admit. they are the same bulb. i used bounce flash so i guess the top ones caught it a bit differently. they are the daylight (5000k) middle of the road 1050 lumen par38 Sylvanias.

    utility sink help

    i finally got this done. garage is still heavily under construction but at least i have my water in the garage! i went with a Mustee 17F. it's durastone material, pretty neat. i did pex to shutoffs under the house, then from there to under sink valves in the garage with dumps, then from there to...

    D114 first impressions

    it's a common observation that D114 is a bit "soapy" vs. what we are used to with rinseless washes. i agree. it's somewhat less soapy when using the later "corrected" dilutions of 256:1. either way, i have no problems with its consistency, though. suds or not, it works fine. i will continue to...
